Steve,
Here's something you might think of as nuts... Pay attention to the
times you're thinking about her and see if you can "smell" her still.
I believe we survive past our time in the body and one way she may let
you know she's around is by her scent.
She sounds like she was one wonderful cat and you two had a strong
connection.

Leeloo's smell was a revelation to me. But, now
that I know some cats have a distinctive smell, it seems intuitive to
me. Whoever thinks that is not possible is nuts!
I'm telling you, Leeloo's smell was very
pronounced and so beautifully fragrant. She smelled very feminine.
Much different from her brother Loki. He smells like a boy! His smell
is less strong and tends to smell a tiny bit earthy. That's a fine
thing: some fine wines can be described as earthy.
Here's to fragrant kitties!

Hear, hear Nina....I told agirlfriend awhile ago about my 24
year old smell, and she said I was nuts, even though she loves cats she
does not think one smells better than the other......she will learn ;-))
Just
the other day, I was breathing deep with my nose buried in Jazz's
fur thinking, if anyone knew how much I love the way my kittens smell,
they'd think I was crazy.
That's one of the reasons I love this list; you make me feel less crazy.
